All Unanimous that the Terms Must be Fulfilled. ee But it Must Yot Interfere With Daily Trips in Summer Between ¢ har- loitetown and Pictou and summerside & Shediae. The Northern Light Service Between Georgetown and Pictou Must be Maintained, Tue storm of last evening did not pre- vent the assemblage of a large audieuce. Among those present were F. Brecken, E-q : Me og missioner of Crown Lands; George W. De Blois, Esq., M P. P.; L H Davies. Esq ; Dr. Jenkins, William Welsh, Eaq_; Capt. Cameron, C. C. Gardiner, Richard Slouge Alexander McKinnon, Esq.; Councillors McLean and Horne The High Sheriff of Queen’s County, H. J. Callbeck, Esq., presided, Before entering upon the subject to be considered, William Welsh, Esq., ex- pressed the hope that nothing of a political character wouid be introduced, and that the matter would be discussed merits. This hope was concurred in by the Chairman and others I T. Newsery, Esq., thea stepped to the front, made a few pertinent remarks, and imcved the following resolution :— Whereas, It is expressly stipulated in the Terms of Union, oa which this Province be- eyme coufederate| with the Dominion, that efficient steam communication for the convey- ance of mails and passengers between this Island and the Mainiand would be established and maintained, winter and summer, so as to place the Island in continuous communication with the [ntercolonial Railway and the Rail- way system of the Vominion; and Whereas, The means of communication across the Straits, proviled by the Dominion Government, have not, during any year since Confederation proved either efficient or con- tinuous. and the people of this Island are thas prevented from participating. on equal terms, in the use of the Intercolonial Railway and other Public Works, for the maintenance of which they are cailed upon to contribute; and Whereas, The people of this Province have eutfered grea: ioss and inconvenience by reason of the frequent interruptions in the wioter steam service, involving extraocdinary delay ia the transmission of m ils and freight, and alse great dangers to the lives of passen gers, thereby causing serious derangement of trade and inconvenience to the entire com- munity; and Whereas, Ample time has elapsed since Confeceration for experiments, which have been undertaken with great tardiness and have not been proportionate to the interests involved nor such as the obligations assumed by the Dominion would justify the people of thi- Island to expect; and Whereas, It is expressly stipulated in the terms of Union, on which this Province became confederated with the Dominien. that «flicient Steam Communication for the conveyance of mails and passengers between this Island and the Mainland wiuld be estab- lished and maintained, summer and winter, so as to pla e the Islaud in continuous com- munication with the Intercoloaial Railway and 'he Railway System of the Dominion; anid Whereas, Vhe means of communication across the Straits, provided by the Dominion Geveroment have not, during any year since Con’ederation, proved either efficient or con- tinuous, and the people of this Island are thus prevented from participating, on equal terms, m the us. of the Intercolonial Railway and other public works fo the maintenance of which they are called upon to contribute ; and Whereas, The peop'eof this Province have suff-red grea* loss and inconvenience by reason of the frequent interruptions in the winter steam service, involving extraordinary delay ia the transmission of mails and freight, and also yreat dangers to the lives of passengers, there»y causiag serious derangement of trade and inconvenience to the eutire community ; and Wherea:, Ample time, has elapsed since Confederation for experiments, which have been undertaken with great tardiness and have not been proportionate to the interest involved, nor such as the obligations assumed by the Dominion would justify the people of this Island to expect Therefore Resolved, That our Represen- tatives are hereby instructed to urge this matter strongly on the Government and Parliament of tv-e Dominion and to demand that a vigerous and earnest effort be made to earry ou’ the Terms of Union and to ensure to th's Island improved and increased facilities for the transmi<sion of mails, passengera and freight, summer and winter, and thus place this Province in continuous and uninterrupted communication with the Railway System of the Mainland, and also t+ compensate the people of this Province for the loss they have already sustained by reason of the nenfulfil- meat of the said terms of Union. Grorcs W. DeBrors expressed his sur. prise that meeetings for the diseursion and agitation of this question had not taken place throughout the whole Island. He heartily approved of the terms of the resolu- tion. In his opinion we should be careful not to commit ourseives to any particular route. But we should make the strongest possible representations to the Dominion Government as to the importanze and necessity of carrying out the Terms of Union with respect to Communication with the Mainland. The Local Government, on the authority of the Legislature, had already done this, and they should be backed up by the people throughout the But itis not our duty to dictate to the Dominion Government as to the partienlar way in which the bargain whole Island. should be fulfilled. ALPXaNDER McKinnon, Esg , had very much plvasure in wevondiny the resolution. inde Aagay ge oho am ee “ tine sm or arene ny te mama weet stg me : Hon. Donald Ferguson, Con- t. Esq ; Angus Gregor, Esq ; | upen its | ‘eh dD - ieee al {t exactly met his views. We have teen | dosed with articles upon the Georgetown | | route, the Cape Traverse route and other | lroutes. But the particular route to be }taken, or means to bo employed, is a mat ter With which we have nothing whatever ‘todo. The Dominion Government made a | bargain with this Island, and we enter- | ed the Union. They took charge | of our custom houses, and revenues, eur | post offices, our light house service, etc., jand they sgreed to affird us continnous }cOumunication wiuter and summer, with | the mainland—which they have not done. | Here are the | clearer : terms. Nothing could be TERMS OF UNION, Srctron 7.—That the Dominion Governa- ment shail assume and defray all the charges tor the followiug services, viz : SuB--Ecrion J.-- Efficient steam service for the conveyance of mails and passengers to be established and maintained bet een the [sland and the mainland of the Dominion, winter and summer, thus placing the Island in continuous communication with the Inter colonial Railway, and the Railway system of the Dominion, An article from the pen Samuel Prowse published a short time ago precisely met his views with respect to the ques ton. in the most unmistakeable language accept- ed the duty af affording this Province con- tinuous communication with the mainland. We call upon them to doit. Let us pass this resclution unaniwously. Wittram Wersu, Esq., differed some- what in opininion with the previous speakers ‘The duty of a Governmont is to carry out the well understood wishes of the people. But how can they do so with res pect to this or any other question, unless those wishes are expressed ? It is certainly our duty to give expression to our opinions and feelings regarding the way to be taken Eq. ; ‘and the means to be emploved in the im- | provement of our communications with the imaioland. He understood that the meet- ing was called for the purpose of discussing jabout Railways to the Capes—a question | which certainly is of some interest to the people of Charlottetown as it seems to be to the people of Amherst, Bay Verte, }and other places on the Mainland. |We want information about the Capes route. Is it proposed to build _ piers there and have the summer travel as | well as the winter communication by that 'route ? In winter few people travel, and ‘it would seem hardly necessary to build ‘railways to the Capes, for the benefit of the few passengers compelled to go abroad !and for the carriage of the mails. It is a | very difficult matter for any Government | te perform impossibilities; and after forty | years of experience, he felt confident that /it would be impossible for a steamer to ply lat the Capes after the Northern ice gets into the straits. But he had consulted with | Messrs. Irving and Muttart, and he had | proposed to them what they declared to be | the only feasible plan. He had proposed, |and was the first to propose, steam launches to be used in connection with the ice boats | One of these launches on each side of the | Gulf would, he believed materially assist | the couriers in their arduous work; and, ‘he believed, if this were done—and the | ** Northern Liight’’ service between Pictou ‘and Georgetown were maintained and im | preved and better boats were procured for | che summer travel—the people of this Island | would be satisfied. Frepverick Brecxen, M P., expressed ‘the great regret he felt on account of the |absence, through illness, of his colleague ithe Hon. J. C. Pope-—a gentleman whose \large practical experience would enable | him to give the meeting a practical opinion /upon the important subject under discus- | Sion. The matter before us is to this Pro- |vince one of the utmost consequence. | With respect to it we have been very badly |treated. The ‘‘ Albert” was a failure | land the ‘Northern Light,” though a |partin] success, was still altegether inade |quate for the purpose of efficient and con- ‘tinuous communication. Now what are the improved means of communication of the Hon. | The Deminion Government have | \tracting parties ; and Y way system of the Dominion. (Applause.) Dr. Jenxrns did not intend to take any art in the meeting; but he diasented strongly to the views expressed by the first speakers. He though we should not hesitate to express an opinion as to the advisability of branch railways to the Capes ; for if they were built, the volume of travel to and from the Island would be very materiaily increased. We need not dictate to the Dominion Government. No | one wauts to dothat. But we ought, asa very much interested people, to express our views upon this important question. To insist upon the fulfillment of the bargain | without giving an expression of opinion as | to how it was possible to do, so, reminded |him somewhat of Shylock and his pound lof fiesh, We ehould instruct our irepresentatives how to act, practically ‘on this matter. This meeting should have | eS . ‘taken plece eight years ago; and it Ishonld not be necessary to reconcile ‘sectional interests. The experience ot ithe past fifty years proves that the Capes lis the proper place at which to make coi | munications with the mainland in winter. |The improvement of this route need not |intertere with the trade of @harlottetown. | From the fact that we cannot, by reason of | our insularity, participate to any great ex: tent in the public works of Canada, we are l entitled to large subsidies to keep up com n.nnication from the principal parts of the Island. We should have a steamer plying | daily between Charlottetown and Pictou, jand between Summerside and Shediac, 'while the ** Northern Light,” or a better | boat, should run to Georgetown as at pre- ‘sent, and the railways should be built to Capes as well. In his opinion the | branch to Cape Traverse should tap the P. | E. Island Railway at North Wiltshire ; and ithat the Capes route should be used par ticularly for the transmission of mails and passengers. The winter steamer at ‘the Capes should, he thought, be ismall and strong, and be used in conjunc- ition with iceboats like those now pro- vided by Messrs. Irving and Muttart. i Me. L. H. Davins after repeated calls came forward and said he was never back- ward in expressing his opinion upon @ sub- ject he understood ; but with respect to ) the subject under discussion he would very much rather remain a Jistener. There is no doubt a great deal in what Mr. Brecken said. It certainly seems very advisable to have railways to the Capes, and money is bo object now-a days. A Voicr—If that is the case, we had better have the tunnel at once. Mr L. H. Davies thought, however, that there were some considerations In con- nection with the proposed improvement. lf the Capes railways are constructed, shall we also bave daily communication in sum- mer, between Charlottetown and Pictou? Shall we bave, what we greatly need, viz, better boats than these at present in use. Suppose the route by way of Cape Traverse be adopted, what is to become of the other routes? Are the statements of a corres pondent of Tur Examiner of this evening true? To lengthen the distance to travel by the narrow guage railway would he thought be a mistake He conld not rid himeelf entirely of section- alism, and he asked how will the proposed change affect the interests of Charlottetown?. He re- proved those who joined in the howl against the ‘** Northern Light,” and contended that the ‘‘ Northern Light” had rendered a great service to the Province. Georce W. DeBtois, Esg., then made a short explanation. Hon. Mr. Ferevson repudiated the idea, which ‘he said Tue Examiner had propounded, that the Local Government had no part in this matter. He said the Local Government was one of the con- if the agreement respecting continuous communication with the mainland were not fulfilled by the Pomin on Government, it would be the duty of the Local Governinet to carry an appeal on behalf of the Province to the foot of the Throne. He felt it to be his duty,as a mem- her of the Loc:] Governnient, to express his |which we should insist upon having! 'Some gentlemen, it appears, are afraid to lanswer this question. But an intelligent ‘inhabitant of this Province should surely ‘know more about these means than a j}man from the Upper Provinces, however lintelligent he may be. The Capes route will now be used until the heavy ice is again out of the Straits. But passengers compelled to travel by that route will un- avoidably —and despite all the care and attention the couriers can give—incur rough lusage. It takes 2 man of robust constitu- ‘tien to withstand the exposure and exer. tion incident to the journey. After the ‘* Northern Light” is stopped by the heavy ice of the Gulf we have absolutely no way of commnnication with the mainland but by the Gapes route. There is no other way. The late Daniel Jackson Roberts thouzht that crossing was feasible at Wood Is!ands, but he proved the hazard of the route by his own unfortunate experi. ence. He, poor man, mace one experi- ment; he never made another. So that) after the heavy ice fills the Straits, we are absolutely obliged to open communication by the Capes route. Weil, then, should not the facilities on that route be improved and raised up as nearly as possible to the standard af those empleyed in other parts | of the Dominion? At present we have to travel on asleigh from Ceounty Line to Cape Traverse, cross the Straits on foot, and then ride on a sleigh about forty miles to Amherst. I contend that we should | ' have railways connecting the P. E. Island and the Interenlonial Rail wavs with the Capes. The existing mode of travel is behind the age altogether. In 1878— just before the last election, the late Dominion Government sent an Engineer who made a survey of the lines of railway proposed to be made to the Capes, and also of the coast on either side of the Straits, which 1s well worthy of study. My impression is that these railways would not injurionsly effect the trade of this city. We must remember that if the improved communications we are asking for are afforded, the railways must be built some- where. If there is a better place than the Capes, let usknow it. But wherever it is, that place wiil be benefitted, while, per- haps, some other place, may be injured. We want improved Winter Communiction at once. Is it not likely we shail o tain it more easily and quickly by any other than | the Capes route? There is no ground for he fear that if we suggest a place and it should fail, the Dominion Government will then be free from their engagement. The Dominion Government is bound by the ‘lerms of Union to keep up efficient and continous Communivatiun with the Rail. eatire appr val of the resolution submitted to the meeting. Weare all united in the opinion that the Dominion Government should, as soon as possible afford that flicient and guarauteed by them under the Terme of Union, As te matters of detail, there may be differences of opinion. But we are all agreed upon the main point, and we should that fact upon the attention of the Domi- nion Government. The agreement is as clear in its terms as it was possible to make it No adequate effort has yet been made to fulfl it. In demanding that it be fulfilled to the letter we are not acting the part of a Shylock The agreement was voluntarily made, and its fulfillment may be quite pos- s‘ble. The Dominion Government held us to the very letter of the arrangement made with the United States respecting the pay- ment of our share ef the Fishery Award. They took advantage of a mere accident to deprive us of a large sum of money which was our rightful due, and which we could otherwise have compelled them to pay ; and we, certainly, cannot be blamed if we hold them strictly to the very letter of the agreement respecting communication with the mainland. Their fiscal policy has greatly stimulated Inter-provincial trade ; and therefore there is the more need for the accommodation bargained for before we were induced to enter the Union. We should not only have improved Winter Communication, but a more efficient steam service during the suminer months. The resolution was put and carried. The following resolution was submitted by William Welsh, Esq. :— Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet- ing the experiment of the ‘* Northern Light” has practically solved the feasibility of winter communication between th* Island and the mainjand ; aud that steamer being now unfit for the werk, we call upon the Dominion Government t' provide two good steamers in her stead, with every accommodatien for the travelling public, which wiil, in connection with improved means of crossing at the Capes, place us in continuous communication with the railway system of the mainland. Thisresolution was seconded by Mr. A. McNevili, who said that in urging upon the Dominion Government our rights, touching this momentous question, it would be well to recognize the steps already taken by that Government towards the fufilment cf the Terms of Union, in relaticn to continu- ous comunication with the mainland. The experiment of navigeting the Straits by a winter steamer, between Georgetown and Picton, hss not, by any means, proved a failure ; but; on the contrary, has been continuous communication | strongly and unitedly urge | £152%.44 I EIN bu u, followed by a measure of success exceed: | ingly profitable to the trade and commerce | of this Province. The service performed | by the ‘* Northern Light’ aiter the cloge | of navigation and up fo, at all events, | about the Ist of Febrvary and in some | aensons later on—and again for wecks be- | fore the opening of navigation, are such as | sheuld surely inspire confidence in the | practicability of that ronte, especially when | efficient winter steamers, properly con structed and of sufficient carrying capacity, are placedon the route. He then expati- ated on the necessity of united action, irrespective of party or selfish considera- tions on the part of our rulers, to secure to the very letter, from the Dominion Gov- ernment, the fulfilment of the Terms of Union. Aneus Greaor, Esq. then addressed the meeting. He appreciated the intelligence of the audience, but thought they srro- gated to themselves too much in dict iting to the rest of the County, entirery too much, in this, as well as in other matters. He also said that Mr. Brecken, the repre- septative, must not forget that he was & representative of the County, not of Char- iottetown only. There seemed to be too much of a self-interested bearing to the arguments of the different speakers, in the interests of the city and even personal i terests. He advocated the building of branch line of railway te Cape Traverse, a5 it could materially shorten the water por- tion of Communication thereby rendering the said communication more continucus as provided by the Terms of Confederation. He also suggested that the representative should have an expression from the rest of the County, before going to Parhament, as he no doubt would find public meetings yet to be held in various paris of the County. - TAM iA x. 7 et on. 1862. ——— Dinner Special Noces. | Grass and Chins [ea Sets an Sete. at W.
